Dreadnought Cutaway

I've been playing guitar over 30 years. I am not great , but have had a lot of fun around campfires , Sunday School , etc .I haven't bought a guitar in over 20 years , but my hobby is making music videos .Last month , I thought what do I have to lose trying this guitar . I watched reviews , and just couldn't believe it. I now own 3 of these since then , Red , Blue , and Black . My preference is the dreadnought, but I did buy a cutaway model also , just so I have a varied Collection . The neck is perfect for me , the tuning pegs are adequate, extra Strings , the Colors are stunning , and this guitar plays as good as my other more expensive ones , at a fraction of the price. I may buy 1 more yet .... but I took a break from having guitars delivered to me for a bit. Never did I dream I could buy this quality , at this price ...Great for beginners , and intermediate players ...

I bought this guitar (the black one) without ever playing before and I was hesitant at first because of the bad reviews or people talking about setting it up. All I've done is tune it and it sounds amazing, string ring out nice, frets arent sharp and overall feels great to play. Great guitar for a great price.

I bought this guitar for my daughter as it was cheaper to have it delivered from Amazon than take her nicer guitar on the airline. I have played over 20 years on nice guitars and also cheaper entry level guitars acoustic and electric. It has a good sound for the price, better than some name brands that cost more. I have a Teton 12 string, and an ovation acoustic. The neck on the Ashthorpe is definitely on the thick side maybe like an old-school Les Paul. Or more similar to the 12 string neck. It does measure 44 mm are about 1.7 inches at the nut. This might be a challenge for players with smaller hands. The radius seems to be at least 13 inch or flatter. The frets are narrower than I am accustomed to and medium and height they feel slightly lower than my other guitars. The bound neck was also rolled over and comfortable. The fretboard was in nice shape and frets level. The action was very high over 3 mm at the 12th fret. The strings that came on mine were OK and not corroded. I think they are phosphor bronze. Fretboard was very dry. I loosen the strings pulled the pins and applied linseed oil. I also took about 1.5 mm off of the bridge saddle. This made the guitar much nicer to play. The intonation is spot on. The action at the 12th fret is now 2.5 to 3 mm range. I did need to adjust the truss rod as well. The cowboy cords play very nicely. The finish is not fabulous but it’s also nice. Mine did not have any glaring imperfections. I would definitely recommend this to a friend. The only caveat for a beginner would be the large neck size and a little bit of setup. There are good tutorials on YouTube to perform these tweaks on your guitar.

It has been one of my best purchases!! My son is happy because it was a gift for him.

Must have . I love it the sound is great the color is beautiful. And it is a normal size

The media could not be loaded. I'm a Novice player on a good day. I have pick up playing the guitar for physical therapy after neck fusion surgery and I just purchased this guitar because I've wanted acoustic electric guitar to play. I'm not sure how this will sound on your end, but I am so impressed and more motivated than ever! I have a Klipsch Gig XXL Portable wireless speaker as my Amplifier and the sound is Amazing. I am Completely Happy with my Ashthrope Dreadnought Guitar. Can't beat the price and the EQ brings out the deap lows and highs and is perfect for me as a novice player. I encourage anyone looking at buying an electric/acoustic guitar to purchase the Ashthrope Dreadnought. Best guitar for the price.

I got the black one and it looks great. It has a rich full bodied sound. The neck has a bow in it and it's going to need a truss rod adjustment. The action is very high which makes it difficult to play. I'm going to have to sand down the bridge saddle. Overall it appears to be a well built guitar but I would not recommend it for a beginner.If you don't know how to do your own set up work it's going to cost you about $60 to have a guitar tech set it up. Fortunately for me, I'm able to do my own set up work.I have bought low end Epiphones which were very playable right out of the box.I suggest you pay a lillte more for an Epiphone and steer clear of this Ashthorpe. When I'm finished with it, it will be a decent guitar, but as is, it's not playable in it's current condition. Very disappointed.Follow up...After adjusting the truss rod and action, this guitar is everything any player could ask for. It sounds and plays as well as a two thousand dollar Martin or Taylor. There are lots of high end guitar snobs who will disagree but it's true. With proper set up, you can make most any cheap guitar sound and play like a million bucks!

Now I’m really surprised and I’m not often. This thing gets good reviews but if anyone gives it a bad one it has something to do with fedex not the guitar or seller. This was way above the quality I expected. It’s just a nice guitar and has nothing to do with “for the money.” It’s beautiful and made well. It reminds me of more expensive guitars (by far) that I had as a kid. Literally if anyone has a problem with this guitar they are the type that asks for the Manager EVERY time they go out to eat. Im really happy with it.
